Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Conway, FL
Chimney work in Conway is different from what most of Florida expects from a chimney company, and it comes down to one thing: moisture. The mid-century ranch homes around the Conway chain of lakes were built with masonry fireplaces as showpieces, not daily heating tools, and after 50 to 70 years in Orange County humidity, the brick and mortar have absorbed a lot of weather. We handle the three services Conway homeowners call about most: sweeping, inspection, and gas fireplace repair. Each has its own page linked below. For anything else, call (336) 863-3889 and a live person answers.
Why Conway Homes Are Different
The chimneys we open in Conway rarely fail because of soot. They fail because of what happens when a brick flue sits sealed and unused for eleven months a year beside Lake Conway or Lake Gatlin. Humidity here averages above 70% year-round, and brick is porous. Moisture works into the masonry, evaporates, and leaves salts behind on the surface, the white staining tradespeople call efflorescence. Over decades that same moisture expands and contracts inside mortar joints until the joints crumble. Homeowners who light two or three fires a winter often have no idea the crown above the flue has been quietly cracking since spring. We also find what the humidity invites: paper wasp colonies, chimney swift nests, and in older homes with rusted-out cap screening, debris that could not have been seen without a camera. None of this is rare in Conway. It is what most of our calls turn out to be.
Our Main Conway Services
Most Conway households call us for one of two reasons: they have not used the fireplace in years and want it cleaned before the first cold snap, or they want a full inspection before buying or selling one of these 1950s and 60s ranch homes. The third common call is a gas fireplace that will not light at all.
Chimney Sweep in Conway
A Conway sweep often starts with the technician finding a nest before they find any creosote. The combination of lake air and a long idle season makes Conway flues a regular stop for chimney swifts and Carolina wrens. We remove the nest, brush the flue from the firebox upward, and vacuum every surface, protecting the floor and hearth before we start. If the cap has rusted through, which is common within a few miles of the lakes, we show you what we found and quote a replacement in writing before anything is ordered. Chimney Sweep in Conway covers the full process and what a typical sweep costs here.
Chimney Inspection in Conway
Inspection matters more in Conway than in cities where fireplaces run all winter. The damage we document is usually structural, not cosmetic: spalled brick faces, deteriorated mortar joints, crowns with hairline cracks that have been admitting water for years. We run a camera through the flue so you see the same footage we see, and we deliver our findings in plain language with a written report. If we recommend a repair, it is because the photo shows why, not because we want to sell a liner. Chimney Inspection in Conway walks through what a Level 1 and Level 2 inspection actually include.
Gas Fireplace Repair in Conway
Gas fireplaces are popular in Conway precisely because they do not depend on dry firewood or a working masonry flue, but humidity still gets to them. We repair pilot lights that will not stay lit, replace thermocouples and thermopiles, and service the venting that runs through old masonry chases. Conway homes built with a wood fireplace sometimes had a gas log set installed decades later, and those conversions need their own kind of attention. Gas Fireplace Repair in Conway explains what we check and what most repairs cost.

What pushes a Conway quote toward the higher end is almost always the same thing: water. A flue that needs resurfacing because condensation sat in it for years costs more than a flue that just needs brushing. Rusted cap screening and spalled brick around the crown add line items. Whatever the total, you get it in writing before any work begins, and you approve every number before we touch anything.

What Conway Customers Say
"Water was leaking around the flashing. They resealed it and installed a new crown coating. Dry through two heavy rains since."
- Douglas P."Fast and tidy. Fireplace draws properly again."
- Mina K."Good chimney cleaning. They found a small gap in the mortar and quoted the repair, which was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Did the sweep and left the repair for later without any pressure."
